Page 8 <br /> The Windsor Landscape Maintenance District No. 1993-1 purpose is to fund the <br /> maintenance and repair of designated landscaped areas and open space areas, <br /> entry features, masonry soundwalls, common area drainage ditches, irrigation <br /> systems, trees and plantings in designated landscaped areas, furnishing of water <br /> and power for irrigation systems, and streetlights. <br /> District 1993-1 is funded by the benefit assessment approved in 1993 <br /> ("Assessment"), and it does not receive any direct revenues from property taxes <br /> or any other funding sources. The fiscal year 2026-27 assessments for District <br /> 1993-1 will remain at the same assessment rate of $265.11 per parcel per year. <br /> With a total of 90 parcels in the Maintenance District, fiscal year 2026-27 total <br /> assessment will be $24,265.80. <br /> Over the years, operational costs and utility costs have increased, however the <br /> assessment revenues have remained the same. The fiscal year 2026-27 total <br /> assessment revenue will not be sufficient to fund the maintenance of all <br /> landscaped areas, including water costs, county assessment fees, city <br /> administration fees, replacement of plantings,irrigation systems, and other district <br /> improvements. The equivalent of $265.11 in today's dollars, based on the <br /> Consumer Price Index for California, is $538.00. The Engineer's Report projects a <br /> shortage that will require the City to reduce landscape maintenance and water use <br /> so that maintenance costs remain below assessments. <br /> City staff began the process of potentially increasing the assessments for the <br /> Windsor Landscape Maintenance District in 2022 through a Proposition 218 <br /> compliant voting procedure. However, the property owners that attended the <br /> neighborhood outreach meeting on February 2, 2022, voiced their desire that the <br /> City undertake more significant outreach to discuss increasing the assessment <br /> prior to taking the decision to vote. Staff set up a meeting with the Windsor <br /> neighborhood again on October 18, 2022, to discuss the assessments. A <br /> notification was sent via mail to all property owners and the HOA manager notified <br /> the residents of the meeting via email. About ten residents attended the meeting <br /> to discuss the need for and process for a vote to increase the <br /> City of Pleasanton <br /> Landscape Maintenance District No. 1993-1, Windsor SCIConsultingGroup <br /> Engineer's Report <br />
